Hockey, pushing, and Tired

As I have written before, one of the things I do for exercise is to play street hockey in the Summer.

Yesterday we had a long game with not many subs so I was running hard the whole time which is fantastic. One of the great things about playing a team sport is that instead of you pushing yourself you instead have your own team pushing you along and the other team pushing hard against you.

Great stuff, I love the change from working out and training indoors.

I sweat a lot whenever I workout in any way so to prepare I always drink a lot of water all morning before and after the games.

Our team won! Yay! And afterwards I had a great afternoon but last night wow my legs were sore. I was thinking that my running with my daughter lately would have helped me out but of course a game like street hockey is radically different with fast starts and lots of pivoting. This morning I feel great though.

What are you doing this weekend? I am doing a lot of running around and enjoying the sun of Summer but I see on the weather forecast that tomorrow and Monday will be rainy so I better make the most of today.

Cancer Stats and Cancer Preventing Foods

While many of the articles we see are dedicated to new fad’s in the wellness industry, we’ve researched 5 cancer-starving foods that are probably already in your refrigerator or pantry. These foods, eaten in the correct portions prevent cancer growth and support a healthy immune system.

Cancer Preventing Foods

  • Bok Choy– This type of Chinese cabbage contains brassinin, a powerful cancer-fighter. Brassinin is also found in cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Bok Choy should be eaten 3 times per week, in ½ cup servings to obtain its full benefits.
  • Cooked Tomatoes are full of cancer-fighting properties. By heating a tomato verses eating raw, the molecule lycopene is more readily available to your body after heating.
  • Flounder Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in mercury, eating three 6-ounce servings a week is ideal.
  • Strawberries are rich in antioxidants known to fight cancer. Suggested 1-cup a day for cancer-fighting benefits
  • Artichokes have 3 different cancer-fighting chemicals. Enjoy ¼ cup of hearts per day.
